Library Loot - 5th June

I hadn't been to the library for a week or so, but I had book due back and a small fine to pay as I misread a date then remembered it all wrong! So having renewed the said books I decided to have a small mooch about and see what else I could see.

Well, I staggered home with a bit of a haul and now need to get down to some serious reading and listening as one is a set of audio CDs.

Death Swatch and Bedeviled Eggs are both by Laura Childs and are defined as cozy mysteries. Death Swatch is part of the Scrapbook Mystery series and Bedeviled Eggs is part of the Cackleberry Club Mysteries.

The Mutiny by Julian Rathbone is historical fiction and whilst is fiction does include some non fiction characters including a mention of a distant ancestor. Only discovered once I bought the book home.

The Great British Sewing Bee was a BBC 2 programme aired in March this year. I didn't realise it was on the TV until I saw a mention of it on a website and by then it was too late to watch. Nonetheless, I staggered home home with this whopping pile of books and have already dipped into this book.

The People's Post is a series of 15 episodes that was broadcast on BBC Radio 4. I collected stamps as a child and more recently was asked to review a book - The One Penny Orange Mystery. As a result of that review I have come across several books and purchased two and now I have this to occupy at least 4 hours of my time

Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire from The Captive Reader and Marg from The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library. If you’d like to participate, just write up your post-feel free to steal the button-and link it using the Mr. Linky any time

I do hope so. It is a lovely book. I have been dipping in and out of it since the book came home. It reminded me of my childhood, when I hated home (hand) made clothes too young to understand that it was a legacy,a dying art and a skill.

Enjoy! It's my favorite thing about the library. . .and if you don't like a book, you've lost nothing but a little time! There are so many books I might never look at if I had to buy them first, but I'll take anything home from the library.

About Me

I am a Surrey girl, who is very proud of her roots, which go back almost 300 years in Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire. I currently live in the West Country of England, but Surrey is always home! I am also half Italian and thus have an interest in Italian culture and genealogy.

After a career in pharmacy management spanning more than 20 years, I made the decision to look at my options as to where my professional life was heading. I wanted to expand my work portfolio within the training and writing arena; to utilise my historical and research skills along with other qualifications and years of experience. I created The Book of Me, Written by You back in the Autumn of 2012. It threads together the focus of my interests and qualifications. Enabling me to encourage others to think beyond the obvious as we analyse our own lives and those of our close family members.
